Conversion from Win11 Hyper-V VM to VMWare Workstation 17 does not work

Title says it all.

I am using the vCenter Converter Standalone Client, build 6.6. I am able to convert Hyper-V VMs running Windows 10. It takes about 5 minutes for this to be done.

When I try it with a Windows 11 Hyper-V VM, it takes 5 seconds to complete; when I go to boot up the VM, it to boot up from UEFI IDE hard drive, UEFI IDE CD Rom drive and finally UEFI network drive and then hangs.

My hunch is that there is something I need to do to the Hyper-V VM before putting it through the converter

Anyone ever get conversion to work for Windows11?

Hello,

If it takes only 5s to complete, them it has not cloned the disk(s).

This is unexpected. Perhaps the disks were not recognized?
Can you start the conversion again and check which disks are available and selected in "Options -> Data to Copy"?
